Collage Central

A while ago I tried to venture outside the boundaries of scrapbooking, of cardmaking, of painting even, and embrace the unstructured. I loved it. It was a birthday gift for a friend. Now, I'm working on some smaller collages of my own to hang up somewhere in the house. I'll post them soon!

A hundred years ago a crinoline lady was born, and she embroidered, knitted, sewed and crocheted until her eyes gave out at 95. A small girl would watch her grandmother, wide-eyed with fascination, as flowers sprang up on tablecloths and the edges of cushions frilled out in lace. That little girl was my mum, and now it's my turn to remember her beautiful creations from my childhood, and to chart my own crafting journey.
